Child Actors


 


Margaret O'Brien



Dean Stockwell



June Allyson

More than any other actress from the 40's, June Allyson represented for me the happiest days that I imagined my mom having and expressing.  In fact, when I think of my mom as a young woman or a young girl, I think of June Allyson's smile.  My mom liked June Allyson as an actress, but she certainly was not her favorite.  But I liked June Allyson.  I think that my mom liked a lot of the actresses of the 40s, women like


Elizabeth Taylor

Janet Leigh



Russ Tamblyn

Elizabeth Patterson.  I don't know that she was a child actor, but I loved seeing her in movies and television series like I Love Lucy.  Here she is in Little Women, standing at the far right.

 
 And below, here she is in an I Love Lucy episode as Matilda Trumbull.
 


A great interview of Dean Stockwell.
